I recently posted on a survey taken of those who have left the Catholic Church.

Here's a bit of an update on that story (H/T to CJ) with a prioritization of reasons given by those who have left. I found the list helpful and informative, the cherry-picking of individual quotes from respondents less so.

Stewardship is not something easily guaged, Ken. What some see as the pastor's wisdom, others see as his folly. And many who might think my stewardship very fine have left the parish and the Church nonetheless because of other and larger concerns on their part. But your kind words are nonetheless appreciated.

Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?

The best place to start is always one of your local Catholic churches. Drop in some Sunday and see what's going on. Then you might speak to the pastor or someone on the parish staff about how they can help you and respond to your questions.
